How do you recommend planting ice pansys and marigolds?

I would like to know if I planted the pansies in the right spot. I planted them where it is shady in the morning until around 1-2p.m. and then sunny until around 5-7 sometime in that area? also do you recommend putting marigold in side on a patio with window that open?

How do you recommend planting ice pansys and marigolds?
i am planting pansies and marigolds for many years.



the location u told is ideal for pansies.



but for marigolds, i don't think its good idea to plant them at that location.... cause they need full sun to thrive.... and they really don't have a very good smell.



marigolds r planted in my gardens to keep the mosquitoes away b/c of its smell.
Reply:I planted ice pansies in front of my house last year, which gets afternoon/ evening sun. They did so well that they lasted all winter and are still alive now (and they've multiplied). I think the marigolds should do well too as long as they get plenty of sun. (I live in Ohio.)
Reply:Pansy's are pretty hardy and survive anything. I think where you have them planted is fine. The marigolds are really an outside type of plant. They don't need to be inside but if the window is open they should be o.k. but remember they too want alot of sun.
Reply:Pansies and marigolds are good in partial sun or full sun, I have planted both and have a lot of trees in my yard, I just pick out the most sunny spot and they do great, no need to worry they are both great plants and easy to grow for border or flower boxes. Good Luck!!
Reply:The area for the pansies seem OK but I don't think you want to plant marigolds inside because of the aroma that exude from this plant. marigolds love the sun and tends to keep some insects away as well because of it's pungent aroma.
Reply:I don't know much about panseys, as I lack in gardening skills; however, because of my lack of skills, I love marigolds because they thrive everywhere and every time I have ever planted them. I have lived in many different regions in Canada. The only thing I would say about having them near a window that opens, is that marigolds have a strong smell to them, which is not a nice flowery smell, but a very distinct smell that I wouldn't like inside my house. You may get this smell coming into your home through the open window. Hope that helps you in some way!
